I have a requirement to comment on my private giveaways, if you don't and you win I'll re roll but if you don't comment don't win, I won't put you on a blacklist.
I just think it's nice and kind of polite. I really enjoy reading comments, and I like to know that people have read the description of a giveaway.

Well, why not.
My giveaways, my rules (that must be approved by support of course).

Just useless comments.

These people have gigantic egos, and if you don't acknowledge their existence at every possible opportunity they don't even want to believe you exist.

well..Im helping homeless peoples by giving them food.
But when one of them dont tell me thanks i take back the food and kick his ass so hard...!loll

You have no choice. Make a blacklist on your own and add every single person applying this policy on it.

Is posible to know if a giveaway that you won was rerolled?
I want to say, if i won a giveaway and the owner rerolled it before i can notice it, Can i know that?
Is mandatory for GA owner to wait until 7 days to rerol it?

If there's a mandatory "comment to enter" rule in GA (ofc non public GA) it may also serve the purpose that entrant read GA description. Ofc someone may post ty without reading GA description, but if someone enter without commenting I may be pretty sure he did not bother with reading GA description whatsoever, hence I will feel no remorse requesting a reroll ;p

Geez some angry posts against those who like to receive comments on their giveaways really bother me D:
It's just a comment, spending 2 seconds to write something to the giveaway creator just to show that you care about the giveaway and it isn't just a way to spend points should be normal D:

I am going to get all analytical right now and say that they probably do it so that they can have some form of control on their giveaways. People seek control in strange ways. Maybe they think the winner will be more likely to mark it or not to regift it.

I get more upset when someone puts in a comment that's just filler ("thx, thanks, thank you, thank's for the giveaway", etc.) or autoreply than if someone says nothing. At least if you say nothing you're a leech like me, whereas people who are fake want to look nice, boost their comment to entry ratio, etc. and are wasting my time with their empty words.

Well, this thread escalated quickly....

Technically, isn't posting your blacklist publicly the same as calling out?

I'm with OP. I give thanks when I win. Otherwise I'd have ~16000 useless comments.

Huehuehue

Sigh, so many people here to add to my blacklist now. :|

Hundreds of non-genuine "THANXS!!!11one" add absolutely nothing to the discussion or the giveaway. I know most people are here to try to get free stuff, but all of the "THANKS OP" posts in giveaways feels like nothing but spam. I'd much rather see folks chatting about the game in question.

Meh, if GA creator wants it then I'm fine with it. Personally, though, I wouldn't do it myself on my GAs. I'd feel like a comment that I get by threatening to put on my blacklist would be disingenuous. I'd rather have comments that people put there because they wanted to.

I always type thanks message by myself, it kinda became habbit, and I always answer creators question if he has some in giveaway description. It's at least I can do for someone who's giving stuff away to bunch of random people.

And btw, thanks to this thread I just noticed entries number got bugged, was this due to database crash recently?

web for me is very slow. If i have to say something i can take 10 minutes waiting. I like to say "Tonks" but sometimes I got tired waiting.

I do the same thing - if the GiveAway is exceptionally good (AAA-Title) then I'm thanking the creator just for their generosity - otherwise for "normal" GiveAways I'll thank if I win - and for GA's which I created I rarely check the comments at all...

i thank them personally WHEN i win, thats it

It doesnt make sense to me either, so i usually type THIS IS A COMMENT

I usually give a, "Thank you for this, it's very much appreciated", or similar for the gesture of the giveaway

I like discussion.
